The margin of error is a double edged sword. While some believe it could allow the PS3 weekly victories it is just as likely that the PS3 might be seeing a worse sales position. The 360 selling more or the PS3 selling less, or even a combination of both. That said the salient point is this why expect the PS3 to outperform the 360.

The 360 is a cheaper system. The 360 has a stronger value position. The 360 has a stronger library. Not only in volume, but in highly appreciated titles covering the spectrum. The 360 is obviously a more compelling purchase. Even the high definition player in the PS3 is a very hit miss proposition.

Unless you could explain why the PS3 should outsell the 360 with a margin of error why expect it. That is a very valid question otherwise your just assuming that the majority of console purchasing consumers are very stupid. Right now the PS3 hardly makes a strong argument.

Anyway this week isn't unprecedented it is damn near expected. The brand name of Playstation seems to have more traction in Japan, and some regions in Europe. While the 360 is selling on merits more then name brand recognition.
